Zivkovic and Tadic: Testimony Closed to Public

As an additional protection measure, witness M-3 was allowed to testify in absence of the public, because he expressed fear for his family.

At an earlier hearing the State Prosecution proposed that this witness be examined with the aim of denying statements given by two Defence witnesses.

The Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina charges Zivkovic and Tadic with having committed persecution of Bosniaks from the Cajnice area, including the murder of 11 civilians at Mostina on May 19, 1992.

The indictment alleges that Zivkovic was Chief of the Public Safety Station in Cajnice and member of the municipal Crisis Committee, while Tadic was a member of the “Plavi orlovi” (“Blue Eagles”) paramilitary unit.

As indicated in the official schedule of trials before the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, this trial is due to continue on October 1.
